My nephew and niece were raised learning 3 language's . English, Italian and Columbian. They didnt seem to have any trouble apart from using only 1 language at a time in a full sentence. by the time they were 4 they knew the difference between all 3. Its easier to teach them from the start.

I should know the answer to this, but I don't. My parents both spoke only french until they started school and learned English. In my home life as a child I learned a kind of mixed up, half french, half english dialect. See, when either of them got angry or wanted to exchange words privately they would speak to each other in french. The results for me were that as an adult I had to learn the english word for some things and I invert my nouns and verbs constantly.

My second language is English, though I never use it.....really only on this site! My children only know Spanish.
Not worried about bothering with the English, as we will be moving back to Cen. America soon
